There are countless memorable nights in UFC’s storied history. Thousands of pushes, pull, sways, kicks, punches, and grapples that have lit up the octagon. Yet, there was something uniquely pulse-pounding about UFC 189 – a night where blood and thunder echoed through every punch and kick.

UFC and its ensemble of fighters have always been more than pugilists. They are performers who bring an entire theatre into an arena.
